NASA leader Raila Odinga on Tuesday evening made his much
awaited announcement regarding the repeat election whose results were declared
on Monday.
Odinga announced that he would start the process of forming
his own parallel government.
According to the former Prime Minister, NASA would
split into two main wings - the Parliamentary wing and Resistance wing.
"The resistance movement shall entail economic boycott,
peaceful protests, different types of demonstrations to give no peace to this
government.
"If there is no justice for the people, let there be no
peace for the government," he stated.
Under the Parliamentary wing, there would be what Odinga
termed as a People's Assembly that would comprise of elected leaders, religious
leaders, workers, and civil society
The NASA leader also announced that the Opposition would be
creating task force that would look at the weakness of the government and make
recommendations that would be ratified into law by County Assemblies.
Among the issues to be looked into included the integrity of
the electoral commission.
The proposed powerful body does not have any lawful
grounding in the existing legal framework and the former presidential
candidate declined to clarify how it would be formed.
"We today announce the establishment of a People's
Assembly which will exist until the legitimate presidency is formed,"
Odinga stated.
At the same time, the Opposition Chief reiterated his
earlier position that the October 26 election was a sham, even accusing media
houses of coming up with fraudulent tallies that maintained a 99 percent gap
between him and Kenyatta.
